The behavior dynamic of the car speed is likely caused by the capacitor that filter the power source. When the car is not running the circuit is in steady state condition. When it runs the equilibrium moves and the capacitor slowly discharges.

TROUBLESHOOTING
  • CPS: one must pay attention whether there is some overlapping area between two adjacent cameras.
  • motherboard: substitute power supply unit (PSU) when there no signal from motherboard (connect to the screen to test it).
  • car: ca2 "Host-Stem Link: DOWN" message: try to reset baudrate console and set it back. Otherwise hardware reset. Suggestions about how to perform the hardware reset procedure (attach resistor to serial cables). Differentiate between reset brainstem (tea and reflex files are not touched) and configuring a brand new card.
  • car: car is slower than others. Check that h-bridge connections to power and motor are solid. Check that all wheels spin fine and eventually clean and grease the faulty bearing.
  • car: encoder no signal, check serial cable connected in the proper way (link to h-bridge and encoder datasheet).
  • car: motor doesn't run. Check h-bridge connection to power and to motor or reset brainstem.
